Strategic Marketing Planning
Dear All,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Strategic Marketing Planning module.Thesis is provided by UK thesis basehttp://www.ukthesis.org/ The module promises to introduce you to the key aspects of strategic marketing planning, as well as an opportunity to put your skills to the test by working with a live client. The module will be delivered via workshops, where a variety of methods will be used. Active learning will be encouraged and therefore you can expect to be engaged in group debates (in class and online) and to be undertaking research alongside the taught element of the module. In addition, it is vital that you reflect on your own experience in the workplace and relate this to the theory.
I do hope that you enjoy the module and if I or the module team can be of any assistance then please do not hesitate to contact us.
I am very much looking forward to working with you all.
Best of luck with your studies
